this one's fun -- every restaurant Zohran Mamdani has talked up, eaten at, or sent friends to — Kabab King to Pye Boat to that Senegalese spot in Harlem — now one map on Zest.

25 spots. Where to go, what to order.

@jsngr yessir

@af_gao @SarahPerezTC see you on there! 🍋‍🟩

[Mario @mariomakesit]

Most apps know where you *say* you eat. Zest knows where you actually eat.

Thanks @SarahPerezTC for telling the story — recommendations built on real dining data, not social posturing. The burrito spot you hit every week matters more than the Michelin flex.

This is just the start. 🍋‍

I love this app. It solved for my endless "want to go" lists on Yelp, Maps, notes, etc. If you're new to @zestmaps add me so we can exchange food recs - I'm just "ali"! 🍋

once you make the mental shift to voice and async, something like Carbon Voice changes everything

[Travis Bogard @TravisBogard]

Your team is now humans and agents.

Now your whole team, People and Agents!, can be on speed dial.

One tap and you're talking.

Works with @NousResearch Hermes, @openclaw , @claudeai Code, @n8n_io, and any webhook.

Teams see 60% less time in meetings. Now your agents are just as easy to reach.

Who will you put on speed dial?

[Mario @mariomakesit]

@ndokuley @figma would love to meet up! you going to any side events?
